Abstract. The purpose of the study is to identify the functional potential of different-level means for expressing intensity of speech influence used by participants of the Russian-language and English-language socio-political debates (SPD). The article presents a detailed analysis of the lexical and morphological means that intensify speech influence of the statements made by SPD participants. Scientific novelty of the study lies in taking the functional approach to analysing linguistic means for expressing influence intensity in the speech of politicians participating in SPD. As a result, it is proved that SPD participants strive to influence the public, drawing its attention mainly to static attributes and qualities of objects and phenomena, the state of things at the moment.
